Mariah Carey News

Mariah Carey did not have the best 2014. Despite releasing a solid late career record, the iconic singer experienced a record low in album sales, with Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse still sitting at just over 100,000 sold. She also split with husband and father to her children Nick Cannon, but she's ready to start a new page with a new deal, which pairs her once again with L.A. Reid.

TMZ is reporting that not only have Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon begun divorce proceedings, but they've been apart for several months already. Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ that Mariah and Nick have been living in separate houses in NYC since May. Cannon sees the kids but that's the extent of their contact.

The response and sales for Mariah Carey's latest body of work, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse has been pretty lackluster, as we reported she initially sold 58,000 copies opening week, but quickly fell off the Billboard 200. It now has total sales of only 103,000 copies. Perhaps this has spurred Mariah to initiate a change in her career, starting with her management, it seems.

Jay Z has already taken over the rap game, and he's now ready to try his hand at the beverage game. Both Jay and Mariah Carey (who's new single "Thirsty" now seems like a subliminal marketing scheme) will be launching beverages through Go N'Syde (helmed by former Def Jam head, Kevin Liles), each with a different flavor and target market.

This week our one new entry belongs to Mariah Carey, who recently released her umpteeth album, Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. While the sales show she doesn't quite have that star power she once did, it's still a respectable debut of #3. Meanwhile, we're waiting to hear the final numbers for 50 Cent's comeback LP Animal Ambition, which he dropped perfectly in tune with the G-Unit reunion/remixes.

Mariah Carey is among the best-selling artists of all-time, but her newest album will not likely push her any further up the list. The album, which sports a mouthful of a title, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse, arrived rather quietly this week, and the sales projections for the effort reflect such.
MIAMTEC is set to move around 60-65,000 units its first week, a decent pull for most artists, but an underwhelming number compared to the diva's already accumulated 175-200 million in sales.

The release of Mariah Carey’s 14th studio album is only one week away from today. Before it arrives on May 27th, the 44 year-old pop diva has decided to partner with iTunes Radio for an early stream of her album, Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse, in its entirety.

After a long delay, Mariah Carey has finally announced the title of her new album Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse.
With a release date set for May 27, the album will include the singles “#Beautiful” featuring Miguel, "You're Mine (Eternal)", and “The Art of Letting Go.” It will host 18 tracks with features coming from Nas, Miguel, Wale, Fabolous, Mary J Blige and R.Kelly.

Mariah Carey album, tentatively titled The Art Of Letting Go, has had a rocky road thus far.The singer covered Billboard magazine with a black and white close-up shot, and inside the magazine, she spoke on her new plans for the album's roll out, featured artists, and the trouble she's experienced with getting her singles off the ground.

Terius Youngdell Nash is very well-known in the R&B world as a producer/singer/writer. He's worked with just about everyone in the business, including artists such as Jay-Z, Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Fabolous, J.Holiday, Yung Joc & Diddy.

Mariah Carey, who recently enlisted Jermaine Dupri as her manager, has finally announced a release date for her new album, The Art Of Letting Go, and not just that, she's also announced the new single off the LP, "You’re Mine (Eternal)", which will arrive this week, on February 12th.

Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri have a lot of history together, which they are hoping to turn into big bucks, with the announcement of a new "merger" between the two.
The "merger" basically means that Jermaine Dupri will now manage Mariah Carey. In a press release, Jermaine stated, "A multi-talented artist of Mariah’s caliber should be doing everything imaginable. I’m sure others have said this but not the way I intend to do it. For me, it’s about the execution."

Wale took to Twitter this afternoon to announce a new collaborative track with Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri. Unfortunately, that's all the information we have at this point.
There are several possibilities as to where the track will live. It could be a remix from Wale's recent album The Gifted. It could be a new single from Mariah's upcoming album The Art of Letting Go. There's also a chance it could appear on Maybach Music Group's forthcoming Self Made Vol. 3 compilation. We'll just have to wait and see.

Looks like "Beautiful" with Miguel won't be the only big collaboration on Mariah Carey's forthcoming album, The Art Of Letting Go. New photos suggest that the singer has something in the works with both Young Jeezy and super-producer Mike WiLL Made It.

Mariah Carey recently popped up at as a surprise guest at HOT 97's Summer Jam, performing her new single "Beautiful" with Miguel. The single seems to have already taken off, and Mariah will keep the new music coming with the release of her album on July 23rd.

Last night, Jermaine Dupri organized an event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his label So So def. Many artists from the label performed, including Bow Wow, Da Brat, Anthony Hamilton, Dondria, Jagged Edge, Xscape, and more.
